Popis: Tuberculosis of pubis is uncommon. We report two cases of tuberculosis of pubis.Case 1. A 60-year old man was admitted with left groin pain and claudication.Case 2. A 77-year old woman was admitted with pain of the symphysis pubis.Both cases were treated with curettage and postoperative chemotherapy. Although bone grafting was not carried out in these cases, good resuts were gained. MRI and CT were useful for the detection of abscess and for follow-up.
